There's an old adage on Wall Street, "The trend is your friend". The same can be said for franchises and the customers they are trying to attract. Wayne Huizenga, owner of the Miami Dolphins, is a brilliant business man worth billions of dollars. When building his Blockbuster video chain in the 1980s, he was unaware that the 1990s would usher in a new and deadly competitor called the internet. Services such as in-home and on-demand movie ordering services, along with Netflix, Redbox and others would soon spell doom for Blockbuster - which eventually took Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2010.
